Maryland Crab Cakes
Mention Maryland and many people will immediately think of crabs and crab cakes. It's an association that benefits the local seafood industry and people who appreciate good food. The best crab cakes use lump blue crab meat and just enough other ingredients to hold the meat together!
Barbara Mikulski, the US Senator from Maryland, even has her favorite crab cake recipe on her website. Now can you see how crab cakes are part of the regional identity?
